Punting & Buildout Line 1) No punting before U12 (i.e. in 10U and younger) a. Defined as goalkeeper kicking from hands b. Ok to drop to floor and then kick off ground once ball stops bouncing. c. If team punts correct action is indirect free kick on the goal area (6yd) line nearest where the punt was taken from. Recommended for first week to give a re-do for the first offence. 2) The Build out line U10 a. AYSO Area 3T implementation different from national guidelines so do not follow online videos etc. Differences highlighted in bold b. Line should be marked half way between penalty area and the halfway line. If no-line then mark using tall cones outside the touchline. c. When the goalkeeper has possession of the ball either in hand, or on a goal kick, the opposition must be behind this line until the ball is touched a second time. Most of the time this means until a teammate touches the ball, however: d. If a goalkeeper drops the ball and starts dribbling. That action counts as a second touch and the opponent is free to cross the build out line. e. There is no penalty for a goalkeeper throwing over the build out line. f. Goalkeepers can play the ball out with opposition still inside the build out line, there is no penalty for this. g. Referees and coaches should encourage players to move behind build out line quickly whenever keeper has possession. h. Offside in 3T will be called as normal (opposing half), the Build Out line does not come into play.
